An Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) is a rare growth that can develop in various parts of the body, commonly in the lungs, abdomen, pelvis, and soft tissues. IMTs are made up of myofibroblasts (cells involved in tissue repair) and inflammatory cells. While typically benign, some IMTs can behave aggressively, with a risk of recurrence or spread to other areas.
Many sufferers of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour. We have recently created an Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
